Clyne "I want to play in the Champions League"

Has Rodgers ever made a defender he has signed better?

 

Given that the fee is undisclosed - I doubt it.

 

That Liverpool kit is awful, a really dated look. Clyne needs something slim fit, he looks like a year 7 being forced to go in a uniform 5 sizes too big because it needs to last 5 years

 

These are very accurate, apart from being listed in Euros (and then converted back into Sterling on their own conversion rate) and they include a fair estimate of add-ons.

Unless you have inside info it's very difficult to get hold of the payment schedule or the value of the add-ons, but if he manages roughly 50 games and they get Champions League, you can safely say the total will reach around £15.6m.

£12.5m sounds like a reliable figure for the fee agreed less the add-ons (although that doesn't tell you when Liverpool will pay it). It's actually pretty much on-market given his asset valuation and only a year left on contract. You've got a decent deal

 

Bye then Nat. Thanks for your time here. I personally hope you stand out as the best player of Liverpool's relegation year. Ta da.

 

That's probably a good deal all round.

 

Someone (DTLW?) posted it on here somewhere I think. Basically it's mostly paid now but £2.5m goes to Crystal Palace.

 

Yeah, I saw some people post that we should keep him for another year and let him go for compensation, but that doesn't tempt me at all.

 

How about a 'Thanks Southampton! It's been an honour,' Nat?

Would be nice to think that we taught you some manners if nothing else during your time here.

 

Looking at the statement on the OS, I would say of the tone, it's somewhere between Lallana (whatever, Judas!) and Lambert (not looking for a move but happy to when it suited both parties).
I suspect that it's a reasonable deal. Other clubs would struggle to replace a player like Clyne but us? Nah.

 

A lot of history. How many times has that been said about Liverpool. Never about the future.

 

Both Lovren and lalashitbeard will be stuck on the bench this coming season, Nat will be first choice but it depends on what system Brenda has dreamed up the day before. Nat should have gone to Utd when he had the choice of them or us, but he did not have the balls to fight for a place at a big boy club, looks like nothing has changed in that respect then.

 

Right. So if players go to clubs where they end up on the bench, then they are a bunch of greedy fools who should have prioritized first team football instead of CL and money ambitions.. But if they go someplace where they will get first team football then they are a bunch of pussies with no fight in them.

That makes sense.

 

Oh and I want CL football..........someone have the decency to tell Nat he's only going to an Europa league club
It had nothing to do with pay rises........good luck Nat you might need it

 

This is no longer the time t be churlish. This fan really enjoyed watching you, Nat. Good luck.

 

No shock to me this one, despite a bit of will he won't he. He worked hard here, I liked the guy, kept to himself. Shame he went to Liverpool, because they are becoming really easy to hate!

 

We do all love a pantomime villain though.
